Treasury of Bible Stories Book Review

From “The Salty Tale of
Noah and the Ark” to “The Lasting Story of the Last Supper,” the
rhyming tales in Treasury of Bible Stories remind us God loves his
people — in the Bible and today. Not even mom or dad will grow tired of
reading its pages night after night . . . after night.

The book
is the fourth installment in David C Cook’s Magnificent Tales series,
which includes the three previously released stories. Treasury of Bible
Stories contains the most beloved biblical narratives from both the Old
and New Testaments, leading up to Christ’s death and resurrection.
Pulley chose key stories with the strongest spiritual lessons and images
that would jump off the pages.

Filled with clever cadence,
captivating art and clear spiritual lessons, Treasury of Bible Stories
will quickly become a reader’s beloved family tradition. (Goodreads)

My Review

This book is so much more than I expected! It is a thick hard back book that children will enjoy reading! Kelly Pulley took the many Bible stories and told them in rhythmic form for example from Esther's :

The king of the kingdom of Persia made known

that he needed a queen who could fill the queen's throne.

The king sent out searchers to search all around.

And bring back the beautiful women they found. (pg 164)

The entire book is put in easy language for youngsters to better understand and it makes it more fun to read to kids with a little rhyme!Obviously this is a not the Bible but these stories mean a lot to children who are learning about the Bible and who God is.

I have learned that while I grew up in Sunday school, others my age did not. And while I know all of these stories, others do not. They are just now hearing about Jonah and Esther. I so want the little ones in my life to hear these stories because they are important things that happened and show God's presence.

This is such a great book for ages 4-8 in particular. I highly recommend!!
